After confirming that there were no more merits to be gained in Yong'an City, the remaining demon hunters quickly left the area.
After five days of rest, Jiang Chengyun had somewhat recovered his condition.
Deng Jianyuan prepared a carriage for him and, along with his family, respectfully sent him off on the official road back to Qingzhou City.
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, the old man turned around with a sigh.
Compared to Jiang Chengyun, who had looked down on him with disdain, he actually wanted to properly entertain that young man.
Unfortunately, the young man had left in a hurry.
By his calculations, the young man had probably already left Tingyang County by now.
The boundary between the twelve counties of Qingzhou and the demon territory wasn't clearly defined.
There were many "no-man's lands" in between.

A three-foot-long ceremonial knife casually slashed through the air, splattering blood.
